Dear Hiring Manager,
I am interested in the Continuous Improvement Engineer as posted on your company web site. My resume is enclosed for your review. Given my directly related experience and excellent capabilities I would appreciate your consideration for this job opening. My skills are an ideal match for this position. For Instance:
I have 14 years experience on the plant floor engineering processes and applying the DMAIC process including DOE, SPC, MSA's, and APC.
I have been Black Belt Certified for 8 years and have been very successful in multi-tier projects for continuous improvement.
I have created scripts in Python and SQL that have been very successful in analyzing large data sets and mining that data for patterns.
Lastly I have extensive experience performing and analyzing DOE.
As you can see I have either held a direct position for Analytical Engineer or have served as a supporting member of an analytics team. I appreciate you taking this time to review my credentials and experience. Again, thanks you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jim Betsinger
